Dialogue de film : un des interlocuteurs dit "six millions" et l'autre répond : six millions ! Mais tu veux me tuer...
Il doit peut-être avoir une expression plus "anglo-saxonne" que : but you want to kill me...
Merci pour votre aide :-)

Are you trying to kill me (or something)?
That would sound idiomatic in the context I think, Arnold.

Are you trying to wipe me out?
That has an element of double meaning which might work well. To wipe someone out can mean a) to make them go broke and b) to kill them, assassinate them.

This is like asking me to commit suicide!
Implying impending financial ruin. At least, that\'s what I think.

That would wipe me out!
Slang for that would take away all my money.
